Abstract

The phytoremediation of trinitrotoluene, nitroglycerine, pentaerytritoltetranitrate in plant tissue cultures of Solanum aviculare, Rheum palmatum and Populus simonii were studied. All above mentioned explosives were degradated to to less toxic products and finally mineralized or bound to the cell wall.
